About Our Mental Health Awareness Training Workshop at Elston HR

The rapid growth and proliferation of technology have led to us living in an increasingly digital and contactless world. Yet even today, organisations find it difficult to function optimally without human connections, which goes to show that organisational relationships are still important, whether between managers and team members or within teams.

In 2022-23, about 875,000 workers in the UK suffered from work-related stress, depression, and anxiety, translating to 17.1 million working days lost. This startling statistic highlights the impact of the working environment and conditions on employees’ mental health. In such uncertain times, the role of managers and team leaders is akin to a guiding light for their employees. Supporting your team members needs to involve supporting their mental health and well-being. Proper training in mental health awareness can help you extend this support a step further.

Elston HR works with organisations looking to improve their ability to address mental health concerns in the workplace through our bespoke programme in mental health awareness training for managers.

Learn the early signs of mental health problems, ways to support your employees, and foster an open and accepting workplace culture.

Top Benefits of Our Mental Health Awareness for Managers Workshop

Here’s how our short workshop on mental health awareness training for managers and team leaders can benefit your organisation as a whole.

Identify Distress Signals

Show more
Recognising the signs of mental health issues at the workplace can be tricky, as mental health conditions are complex to decipher. To add to the difficulty, signs and symptoms may not be apparent or present in the same way for all affected individuals.

Some of the common signs of distress can include sudden changes in mood or behaviour, excessive worrying, persistent anxiety, changes in eating and sleeping habits, difficulty concentrating, and expressing feelings of despair and hopelessness. Underlying mental health conditions can lead to poor work performance, increased irritability or frustration with colleagues or clients, increased physical complaints, and even substance abuse.

With our mental health awareness training for managers, your staff will learn to identify these distress signals and take positive action to support employees.

Improved Self-Awareness and Heightened Emotional Intelligence

Show more
Your team leaders and managers need to have a good sense of self and heightened levels of emotional intelligence to lead their teams effectively. Self-awareness is the ability to recognise your emotions, weaknesses, and motivations, while emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your emotions in a positive and productive manner.

By being more self-aware, managers can understand how others perceive them and make changes to refine their leadership style. Emotional intelligence helps in building strong relationships with team members, resolving conflicts with maturity, and creating a positive working environment. These skills are essential for approaching employees struggling with mental health issues with compassion and empathy.

Elston HR’s mental health awareness training for managers and team leaders helps your senior team develop emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Our trainers guide your managers in becoming effective leaders who are better equipped to support their teams, not just during crisis situations.

Resilience-Building and Effective Stress Management

Show more
Workplace stress is common and is often associated with the need to face deadlines, long working hours, monotonous tasks, lack of feedback, bullying, and complex interpersonal dynamics. A stressful working environment can lead to low productivity, burnout, and high staff turnover levels.

Managing stress involves identifying the various sources of stress and taking appropriate action to alleviate them. Your team leaders and managers can advise their team members to take breaks when necessary and engage in activities such as meditation and exercise to help them relax.

Building resilience is all about cultivating positive coping mechanisms, including prioritising self-care, developing problem-solving skills, and maintaining positive relationships with colleagues.

By learning resilience-building and effective stress-management techniques in our workshop, your managers and leaders can help their teams adopt coping mechanisms to handle challenging situations at work and maintain productivity even when they’re under pressure.

Establish Open Dialogue and Reduce Stigma

Show more
Effective training in mental awareness for managers and team leaders can facilitate open dialogue. Open dialogue and communication around topics related to mental health conditions can reduce stigma in the workplace. It fosters an environment of acceptance, where everyone feels comfortable talking about their experiences and feelings without fear of judgment.

A culture of acceptance and openness makes your employees feel heard and supported. They’re more likely to forge strong connections with each other when everyone feels valued regardless of any underlying mental health condition they may have.

Our short-duration course will help your managers and team leaders gain better insight into identifying potential areas where their team could improve. By establishing open dialogue and reducing stigma around mental health, your managers and team leaders can bolster employee morale and boost productivity levels.

Build a Supportive and Inclusive Work Environment

Show more
Team leaders and managers often juggle multiple responsibilities in an organisation, and their role requires them to find the balance between meeting the senior leadership’s demands and attending to the team’s needs.

Elston HR’s mental health awareness training for managers and team leaders equips your managerial staff with the vital tools they need to effectively fulfil their diverse responsibilities and build a supportive and inclusive atmosphere at the workplace. Our experts help you recognise the signs of mental health conditions and guide you in providing proactive support to employees struggling with mental health. Support can range from helping manage your employee’s workload to helping them seek professional help if needed.

Our workshop can put the wheels of a supportive and inclusive workplace into motion, from building positive initiatives such as clear policies to systems that support mental well-being. If there are existing programmes already in place, you can start by measuring their impact and examining how they can be improved.
